Crispy Garlic

Method

Preparation of Pickled Chili

  1. 1

    Make the Pickled Chili

    In a small saucepan, combine the sliced chili, white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preparation of Salsa Verde

  1. 2

    Make the Salsa Verde

    In a blender or food processor, combine the parsley, basil, minced garlic, capers, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

Preparation of Crispy Garlic

  1. 3

    Prepare Crispy Garlic

    In a small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced garlic and cook until golden and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels.

Grilling Vegetables

  1. 4

    Grill the Asparagus and Broccolini

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Toss the asparagus and broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, until tender and slightly charred.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving platter, arrange the grilled asparagus and broccolini. Drizzle with salsa verde, top with pickled chili, and sprinkle with crispy garlic. Serve warm.
